The whiskey itself is a wheated Kentucky straight bourbon that was distilled in 2018 and matured for a full six years in charred oak barrels. The result is a 100-proof whiskey that (according to the brand) is loaded with complex flavors like vanilla, toffee, caramel, and “warm earthy notes.”

“This collaboration represents much more than just a bottle of bourbon to me,” October London said in a press release. “It’s about honoring the artistry that goes into both music and bourbon. Just like in music, the process of creating something as complex and refined as bourbon is a journey. It’s about blending tradition with innovation, and I’m proud to be part of this with Mr. & Mrs. Bourbon.”

WhistlePig is launching its oldest, most expensive whiskey ever
WhistlePig's newest whiskey matured for three decades
WhistlePig The BigShǝBàng

To say that WhistlePig’s newest expression has been matured for a long time is a bit of an understatement. At thirty years old, it’s the oldest whiskey ever released by the iconic Vermont-based brand (even older than The Béhôlden – Aged 21 Years and The Badönkådonk – Aged 25 Years). Unsurprisingly, it’s also the most expensive.
WhistlePig The BigShǝBàng

It’s called WhistlePig The BigShǝBàng, and this single malt is also older than any other North American-produced single malt whiskey. It’s matured for three decades in American oak barrels, followed by a secondary aging in popular Italian dessert wine Vin Santo barrels.
According to WhistlePig, the result is a 90.4-proof single malt whiskey that begins with a nose of honeyed bread, wheat crust, and floral hints. The palate is loaded with flavors like dough, honeysuckle, and clove. The finish is long, warm, and ends with toasted cedar and gentle caramel sweetness.
“We didn’t wait for our Single Malt’s 30th birthday just to play it safe. The BigShǝBàng is a flavor supernova – radiant, otherworldly, and unlike anything we’ve ever put in a bottle.” Meghan Ireland, Head Blender at WhistlePig, said.
“We’ve been hunting down Vin Santo barrels for a few years now, and the stars finally aligned with a precious few to finish this inaugural release. As with many of our most elusive casks, they’ve proved to be a catalyst for complexity that’s well worth the quest.”

Bunnahabhain

In the world of single malt Scotch whisky, there are five regions. They are the Lowlands, Highlands, Speyside, Campbeltown, and Islay. The latter is different from all the rest thanks to its glut of distilleries producing peat-smoked whiskies. But not all the distilleries on this Inner Hebrides island make smoke bombs.

Bunnahabhain is known mainly for its unpeated single malts. Recently, this popular distillery announced the launch of a new expression matured in a combination of unique barrels.

If you didn’t know it already, September is Bourbon Heritage Month. It was officially declared in 2007 by the U.S. Senate after being sponsored by Kentucky Senator Jim Bunning. Each fall, it’s celebrated to pay homage to America’s “native spirit” and its historical value, and the importance of the bourbon industry.

In my alcohol writing career, I’ve enjoyed countless glasses of bourbon. And while I’ll definitely sip my fair share of bourbon in September, to truly get the most out of this important month, it’s a good idea to learn a little about the history of this truly American form of whiskey, along with the stories and legends surrounding it.
